CONCISE PRODUCT MANUAL (59333-1)
CAUTION: Installation should be only performed by
technically competent personnel. Local Regulations
regarding electrical installation & safety must be observed.
1. INSTALLATION
The models covered by this manual have three different DIN case sizes (refer to
section 9). Some installation details vary between models. These differences have
been clearly shown.
Note: The functions described in sections 2 thru 8 are common to all models.

Option Module 2
Option Module 1
(Fixed Limit Relay)
To access module A, first detach the PSU and CPU boards from the front by lifting
first the upper, and then lower mounting struts. Gently separate the boards.
a. Plug the required option modules into the correct connectors, as shown below.
b. Locate the module tongues in the corresponding slot on the opposite board.
c. Hold the main boards together while relocating back on the mounting struts.
d. Replace the instrument by aligning the CPU and PSU boards with their guides
in the housing, then slowly push the instrument back into position.
Note: Option modules are automatically detected at power up.

Exceed Condition
An Exceed Condition is when the Process Variable exceeds the Limit Setpoint value
(i.e. PV > SP when set for high limit action, PV < SP for low limit action). The
LED is on during this condition, and is extinguished once it has passed.
Limit Output Function
Limit Output relay(s) de-energise whenever an Exceed condition occurs, causing
the process to shut down. The LED is on when the relay is de-energised.
The relay remains latched off even if the Exceed condition is no longer present.
Only giving a reset instruction (after
the exceed condition has passed) will re-
energise the relay, allowing the process to continue. The LED then turns off.
Limit Annunciator Outputs
An Annunciator output will activate when an Exceed condition occurs, and will
remain active until a reset instruction is received, or the Exceed condition has
passed. Unlike the Limit Output, an Annunciator can be reset even if the Exceed
condition is present. When an Annunciator is active, the LED will flash and the
Alarm Status screen is available.
Resetting Limit Outputs & Annunciators
A reset instruction can be given by pressing the key, via the Digital Input (if
fitted) or via a Comms command if an RS485 Communications module is fitted.
Annunciators will deactivate. Limit Outputs will only re-energise if the Exceed
condition has passed.
CAUTION: Ensure that the cause of the Exceed condition has been
rectified before resetting the Limit Output.
